A Splashing Good Time at Knott’s Soak City

It’s summertime, which means spending hot summer days, cooling off at Knott’s Soak City Waterpark. Plan for extra visits this year, as the Buena Park water playground, will keep you cool during the heated summer months. Open May 21 through September 10, catch a ride down 23 different speeds, tubes, and body slides, or take a relaxing trip down one of the longest lazy rivers in the country.

As a Knott’s Berry Farm Berry Ambassador and Snoopy’s neighbor, when school is out for the summer, one of the first things my family wanted to do was hit up Knott’s Soak City Waterpark with their friends.

The 15-acre water park has something for each member of the family with 23 different speed, tube, and body slides for the more adventurous or a relaxing trip down one of the longest lazy rivers in the country.

Knott’s Soak City Upgrades

Want to add a little more fun to your Knott’s Soak City Waterpark Day? Upgrade with these awesome options:

• Cabana Rental: If you have 4-8 guests enjoying the park together, I’d highly recommend getting a cabana. Located in various areas throughout the park, you can have a designated place to meet. It includes a privately shaded area with 4 chaise lounges, a table with 4 chairs, and 4 tube rentals. Wait staff will visit approximately every hour to check in and see if you would like to order food. *There is an 18 service charge added to your food order.
• With the rental of the cabana, you can receive up to 8 wristbands, and purchase up to 2 more for an additional fee. Information regarding how to rent and pricing can be found here: CABANA RENTALS.
• Tube Rentals: Rent tubes to float in the day away in Tidal Wave Bay for an additional fee.
• All Season Dining Pass: As a Gold or Platinum Knott’s Berry Farm Season Passholder, you have the option to add the all season dining pass that permits you to purchase a meal starting at 11am when the restaurants open, and again 4 hours later. This could potentially give you two meals a day, depending upon the length of stay in the park.
• All Day Dining Pass: For one day, you can eat every 90 minutes in the parks (Knott’s Berry Farm or Knott’s Soak City).

If you have a season pass, do not forget to join in the fun this summer at Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights is included with admission to Knott’s Berry Farm or with a special Knott’s Hotel Summer Package.
